Lady_neon, Sam at Booloobabe is lovely - I've bought all my MCNs from her, and have only been using the magic stick and nothing else for nappy rash. If we use it every few changes, DS stays clear, and if we get slack and he gets a bit of rash, the magic stick clears it up within a few changes. Sam has dropped off my orders each time, but I've made quite big orders. As you know I live not far from you. :)
speaking of covers. i only have 2 and only need/use them o/n with her nn. i wash only use them once and then wash them. but means i have to wash minimum every 2nd day even tho my stash is big enough to last 3-4days.
do i have to wash covers every use? they are pul (i think...) would just airing them be ok for a 2nd use? or should i try and get more?

You could just rinse the cover in the sink and dry it pretty quickly if they are PUL. I wash every day or two anyway just cos i don't like nappies sitting around too long.
Yeah PUL covers only need to be washed if they are soiled. I think BBH (could be another site) recommend having at least two & alternating them. I wash every second day and I have enough to last 6 days :o The smell is too much and the urine can damage the nappies if left too long.
I have enough covers to just wash, but my minkee and wool ones get an airing and they're good to go. PUL seem to hold the urine smell more.

Yes, itti bitti have their own you tube Chanel with a great one on fitting all their nappies. I'm new to Mcn's and also had problems with magicalls but the sio, aio and tuttos from itti bitti are brilliant. Even only after 2 washes they are lasting 3plus hours.
I wash my covers whenever I wash. So I just air them, and then when the bin's full, toss them in with it.
Just got a new washing machine delivered. Fingers crossed its a good un.
DD2is doing epic newborn poos (a whole new world for me after having a fortnightly pooer) so were rocking the fitteds and covers, but if I don't get to it fast enough it leaks out the gusset seam. Ewwww.
I've just been rereading the posts about nappy creams etc. Are zinc based creams no good for Mcn's?
We are currently using Moo Goo which is Zinc based with a liner.
Some can stain I think
Zinc based ones get into the fibres of your nappies and clog them, making them less water absorbant and sometimes repellant => leaks. It's hard yakka removing it too so many people have to ditch them.
If you're using a liner it should be fine.
oh! so that is what happens =) thanks Kim! I knew it was evil for them but not exactly why.
Moogoo MSN is a great alternative, after seeing it recommended I went and bought it. Haven't needed anything else with DD2 and still on the first tub after about 10 mths. Lasts for ages.

I use moogoo MSN. She got a really sore bum the other day from 3 really acidy poos, moogoo cleared it up in a day. and your right, lasts forever!
I keep forgetting to say what is on her bum!!

Thanks TT40! Their sale made it possible to buy a decent sized stash all in one go. Half price works for me!!
I may have already asked this in the past but if I have I've forgotten the answers so....
What night nappies do you LOVE for an older baby and/or toddler? I am so VERY sick of buying disposables for bedtime but don't wanna spend heaps on nappies that aren't gonna cut the mustard- hence only having enough for one night each child atm. TIA :D
I like the BBH NN but it takes ages to dry, so you'd need a few. Also like these Supernights ones I got secondhand on here. Honestly, if I'm stuck my good old BBH basics with an extra prefold and cover do the job as well.
